      Russia is not attacking the US, it’s just allegedly helping Iran. They have done similar thing in the past as well as more concrete support (say in Vietnam). The US has as well, most recently in Syria and Ukraine. WW3 is not going to erupt over this.

      You are absolutely correct. Just because Trump is an asshole doesn’t make Russia or the Iranians good people and we should not celebrate them.

          “the Iranians” in the sense of “the iranian government / regime” and not “the iranian people”. That also applies to “the russians”

            I pointed out your very poor use of “the Iranians” because for the other example, you chose “Russia”, which is the name of the country and - while not optimal - more easily associated with the government. Whereas “the Iranians” is much more easily associated with “the Iranian people”.

            Please consider not using “the Russians” or “the Iranians” at all in such a context.
